Rocks KILL!

There was a fellow that was surf casting with his buddies and had moved down the beach to get some personal space. At that point he found a 50 lb bass in a tidal pool, on its side, dying.!! He brought it back to the other guys and showed them as he if had caught it. He soon fessed up to the truth and when they gutted the big ,dying striper, they found a ROCK, bigger than a SOFTBALL. The huge striper had "SUCKED" it in when feeding of the bottom.....and eventually it killed her! The point is, many big fish can SUCK a bait in from quite a distance..and expel it with the same velocity... Be attentive in this sport, big ones are rare....Good Luck

Some of the reasons why I find this to be perhaps the best all around artificial from shore is because you can fish it day or night, with a teaser or without, preferably slow but can be retrieved any speed you wish.
